Tom Powers and Matt Doyle are best friends and fellow gangsters. Their lives are frowned on by Toms straitlaced brother Mike and Matts straitlaced sister Molly. From their teenage years into young-adulthood, Tom and Matt have an increasingly-lucrative life, bootlegging during the Prohibition era. But Tom becomes more and more brazen in what he is willing to do and becomes more obstinate and violent against those who disagree with or cross him. When one of their colleagues dies in a freak accident, a rival bootlegging faction senses weakness among Tom and Matts gang, which is led by Paddy Ryan. A gang war ensues, resulting in Paddy suggesting that Tom and Matt lay low. But because of Toms basic nature, he decides instead to take matters into his own hands.
At a young age, pals Tom Powers and Matt Doyle begin a life of crime. At first its just shoplifting for Putty Nose who fences whatever they can steal. They graduate from petty thievery to big-time crime when theyre drawn into a plan to rob a bank but the job goes bad and a policeman is killed. Tom and Matt find theyre on their own. With the U.S. entry into World War I, Toms brother Mike enlists in the Marines while Tom stays home to take care of their elderly mother. They really start to make big money with the introduction of Prohibition, when they start working for mobsters Paddy Ryan and Nails Nathan. When Nathan is killed in a horse-riding accident, rival mobsters try to take over his businesses, leading to a gang war.
